Tournament solitaire rules (2 decks of cards)<< Thumb and Pouch | Trefoil >>
Goal: Move out an ace of each suit when you can and build them up to king in the same suit. Move out a king of each suit when you can and build them down to ace in the same suit.
8 cells are each dealt a card. These cards can be played onto the ace or king piles. Empty cells can be filled by any top card from the 6 piles of the layout.
The 6 piles of the layout are each dealt 4 cards. There is no building on these piles. The top card of each pile can be played to empty cells, the aces, or the kings. Empty piles are dealt 4 new cards from the deck.
Each time you are done making moves, deal 4 new cards to the top of all 6 piles.
2 redeals are allowed. All cards from the 6 piles of the layout are gathered and redealt without shuffling.
Variation of: La Nivernaise
Difference: The 6 piles of the layout are spread out so that you can see the buried cards below.
This also has its own variation: Marechal Saxe
This variation by Morehead & Mott-Smith is a welcome improvement. Tarbart had the same idea 44 years earlier with Marechal Saxe, but with an ace and a king dealt to get things started.
